L. Neil Smith at The Libertarian Enterprise - commentary on the MySpace gun photos teenager, who was found guilty of breaking a non-existent law. [clairefiles]

Contrary to what the Founders intended, law, to cops, politicians, and other parasites these days, is whatever they make up as they go along.

But there's a longer-term object here that the enemies of liberty are pursuing. If we can't put guns in our children's hands, if we can't teach them to use them safely and effectively, then what the media delight in calling the "gun culture"--meaning those who think the Bill of Rights is important--is doomed to extinction. Several years ago, I coined an appropriate phrase for the phenomenon: cultural genocide.

Around about the same time, I also said that those who would outlaw weapons must begin by outlawing knowledge of weapons, and those who would outlaw knowledge of weapons must finally outlaw knowledge itself.
